councillor d h rusnell who was the first councillor to moot something about a dog by law was also the first one to suggest a modification of the terms of the bylaw councillor rusnell said would it be any advantage to change the dog bylaw so as to shut up the dogs in the summer season only we have no flower beds in winter or gardens and lawns to destroy mr rusnell said he would not urge such a change reeve sanders said the citizens were more valuable than the dogs and must be protected at all times then councillor ward told mr rus nell to stay with the bylaw as you cannot run with the hare and hunt with the hounds he declared dr patterson appeared before the members complaining about the water which was damaging his pro perty just east of the christian church while messrs hill jos grose

enact ed when the big mill dam there was swept away also the mill belong ing to mr sider at the corner of the 5th concession and the townline was more fortunate although the owner with one assistant took their lives in their hands in order to defeat the great surge of water by lifting the gates and remaining out there over them to keep fences trees and all manner of wood from clogging up the gates again they allowed the water to pass through and saved the dam had these brave men lost their footing for a moment they would easily have been swept to their death by the mad stream mr a d bruce

harkness in the united church at 815 on sun day evening was very greatly appre ciated by his audience unfortunate ly owing to threatening storms the attendance from the other churches was much smaller than it should have been judge harkness dealt in very masterly fashion with the great peace movements of the past cul minating in the league he outlin ed the organization and the broad scope of the work of the league in matters of international cooperation co operative educational programs health finance relief of the needy restoration of refugees opium con trol international regulations affect

than a million cellars damage in ontario created great havoc in the territory about stouffville while no lives were lost property damage to both rate payers and the municipalities will run into the thousands in stouffville whitchurch and markham old timers declare that it was the worst storm in the history of this place and everybody is inclined to agree with them the storm was at its height from twelve to two oclock in the night it didnt rain ordinarly but it simply poured as if some great tank were being overturned over a body residents of the east end who were down town at 1130 could not reach their homes without the aid of automobiles to ford them over the low section in the vicinity of the presbyterian church where two feet of water ran over the road way despite this the damage in that section was slight and the new culvert put in last fall by the road foreman cliff pipher stood up well under the circumstances much damage was done in the vic inity farther west between the post office and obrien avenue john monkhouse tailor had a lively fight to save his spring goods from flood damage the water came over the sidewalk at this point and rose above the lower part of his store window flooding the floor of the shop to within a foot or so from i he top of the counters then across the road the buildings were serious ly undermined forsyths barber shop and schells butcher shop were left standing on posts while the fill or earth between the buildings was washed out to a depth of four feet at the rear of the post office and w e mordens residence the creek raged like a rapids and washed away almost everything that came in its path as the stream surged into a raging river as an evidence of the strength of the water a bag of coal standing on the bank some dis tance from tiie natural stream was carried 40 rods down the creek and dashed onto the land again where it was found the next day stones of 300 poundsvwere rolledairing inthe torrent while the roadway at the extreme south end of market street in front of the blacksmith shop was completely demolished when the creek in its mad race forced a new and more direct route south between the front of the blacksmith shop and the double residence across the road in the low sections of the town lawns were left with a deposit of half a foot of mud washed from the fields to the north of main street cellars in many homes had several feet of water where they were never wet before considering the magnitude of the storm and the havoc created in other parts of the province this village came off remarkably well there are two great washouts up on stouf- fer street in addition to the big one on market street and many minor holes to be attended to on the side streets but the small culverts were not injured to any extent railway traffic was completely tied up owing to a huge washout three miles south of stouffville at a place known as millers grade at the rear of the shank farm on the sth of markham at this point the track runs high from the low lying lands and the great fill was washed out but a large gang and a work train started in saturday morning to effect temporary repairs and made the spot passable that evening on sun day twelve passenger trains from the main lines were routed via stouffville bound for and from mon treal ottawa and the western pro vinces this line may he made use of for a week or more until tempor ary repairs at least are made to the bridges on the main lines the damage wrought by the storm in other parts is fully described and illustrated in an inner page of this issue rev e sanders takes new charge the rev edwin sanders ba pastor of the united church at gren- fell sask has accepted a call to the pastorate of the church at assiniboia in the same province and entered upon his new duties last sunday when this former stouffville boy visited the old home here last janu ary he returned to his western charge to find awaiting him an invi tation to become pastor at assini boia one of the younger towns which dates back only fifteen years yet today has a population of over 2000 people with fine schools hospitals and an uptodate electric system all of which is an outstanding mark of western growth the charge at assiniboia became vacant through the resignation of rev r graham who was called to be assistant editor of the new out look which position he took on janu ary 1st the many friends of mr sanders here at home will be delighted to note his advancement in being called to one of the finest towns of that western province where unlimited possibilities lie before him and we all wish him every good success in his new charge among the churches presbyterian church rev w h fuller pastor a sunday april 14th pm sunday school pm afternoon service some open others close although last year the stores in stouffville did not commence their weekly halfholiday until may 1st this year a number of places closed up last wednesday but some stores in almost any line of business were open and were able to serve the farmers or others who came to town in these days of keener competi tion it is questionable as to whether the merchants should continue to cut down the number of hours in which they remain open to do busi ness the t eaton co are finding out that their saturday holiday can not continue any longer as much ot their trade was being done by some other store that was willing to re main open consequently this big departmental store not far from stouffville has intimated that it will remain open all day saturday this coming summer in a town like stouffville if the merchants were so minded they could give their clerks a whole day off each week throughout the summer months by working out a systema tic arrangement so that only one should be absent from business at a time by this method employees would be satisfied and at the same time the general public served more adequately as matters stand now some stores will be open next week while others will be closed on wednesday but so long as enough places remain open to serve the public there should be no dissatisfaction aroused the stores are open tuesday thursday and saturday evenings
